regenerate

regenerate : what is it about?

I wanted the gradients to portray our inner energy status, like a power charge we keep regenerating. Made of many steps, they create the illusion of continuity. And, just like us, they sometimes disfunction.❤️

The title illustrates both the energy of these geometric outputs and my own return to a generative art practice. It's also a nod to the "degen" culture.

variations

regenerate has 3 types of outputs:

• the single column, in full color - these are the main outputs and define the visual identity of the drop - pure energy!
• the single color column on grey - pure contrast!
• the triplet - dysfunctional in the best sense!
  Well, there might be a 4th type, but that's a surprise...

For each mint, the number of steps will vary from 60 to 200+. The way the gradients blend into the larger background also depends on the mint: some blend completely, while other tend to the background color but never quite reach it.

Keyboards controls

's' saves a high-res version of your output (4096x4096 px)
‘m’ saves a low-res version (500 x 500 px), useful for social media
'p' saves TWO smartphone formatted crops (1176 x 2556 px) so you can take your mint with you all day - one in full saturation, one at half saturation - you can use one for your lockscreen and one for your homescreen, for example, or you can make your own crops from the high-res image.

Technical note

Depending on the size of your window, the number of steps may vary. That is intentional, and made to avoid any moire effects when scaling down. Instead, the overall impression of the output will remain visually the same at any scale.

Conclusion

I hope you enjoy your mint, whether it's a single, triplet, or a powerful color on grey!
Thanks for reading and thanks for minting! 🙏
